Getting to Wednesday’s basketball game between Ole Miss and Georgia at the Tad Pad is going to be a risk for some, and the school is giving a break to those who feel they can make it to the coliseum safely. (more…)(February 25, 2015)

Ole Miss is one of the hotter teams around. All the winning has the Rebels trending for the postseason.

The Rebels have won eight of their last nine games and are coming off a 2-0 week against Mississippi State and Tennessee. The win over the Vols on Saturday kept Ole Miss (19-8, 10-4 Southeastern Conference) in a tie for third place with Texas A&M in the SEC standings and in line for a double bye in next month’s SEC Tournament with four games to go, though the Rebels would technically be the tournament’s third seed if it started today with their head-to-head win over A&M on Feb. 4.

Those accomplishments made the Lafayette High baseball team’s 2014 season a success, but the Commodores’ ultimate goal of an MHSAA Class 4A state title was cut short when they were bounced from the playoffs by eventual champion West Lauderdale.

If Ole Miss was going to avoid a loss at home to a team in the bottom half of the Southeastern Conference standings, the Rebels were going to have to do it with defense. Ole Miss came up with just enough. Josh Richardson’s jumper missed as time expired, and the Rebels hung on for a 59-57 win over Tennessee on Saturday at C.M. “Tad” Smith Coliseum, putting another top-100 RPI feather in their proverbial cap in the process.

STARKVILLE — Stefan Moody didn’t care about Ole Miss’ history at Humphrey Coliseum. All he was concerned with was helping the Rebels continue their upward trajectory for the NCAA Tournament. The junior guard certainly did his part to keep Ole Miss headed in that direction. Moody scored a career-high 29 points, and Ole Miss picked up just its eighth win all-time in Starkville with a 71-65 win over Mississippi State on Thursday at Humphrey Coliseum.
